It’s almost the one-year anniversary of entering this circle. It feels like the memory is still stuck on that night of the TRB surge and crash on New Year's Day. It was also that night that made me realize that in this circle, I can earn money that I wouldn't make in my entire life of serious work. Back then, I was at the square looking at this post and then that 'teacher's' post, casually and fomo-ing to open positions, fantasizing about waking up to profits multiplying my principal a few times, being able to buy new phones for my parents, taking them on vacation, and being able to take my beloved girl on trips...
But reality is ultimately ruthless. All the money I earned during my beginner's protection period has been harvested. In the trading teacher's group, I see people taking out loans to gamble. After blowing up their accounts, who cares about your survival? Learning by myself might be a better choice. Be responsible for myself and for my money.
